MLK3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine kinase family. This kinase contains a SH3 domain and a leucine zipper-basic motif. This kinase preferentially activates MAPK8/JNK kinase, and functions as a positive regulator of JNK signaling pathway. This kinase can directly phosphorylate, and activates IkappaB kinase alpha and beta, and is found to be involved in the transcription activity of NF-kappaB mediated by Rho family GTPases and CDC42. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein., cofactor:Magnesium., enzyme regulation:Homodimerization via the leucine zipper domains is required for autophosphorylation and subsequent activation., function:Activates the JUN N-terminal pathway. Required for serum-stimulated cell proliferation and for mitogen and cytokine activation of MAPK14 (p38), MAPK3 (ERK) and MAPK8 (JNK1) . Plays a role in mitogen-stimulated phosphorylation and activation of BRAF, but does not phosphorylate BRAF directly. Influences microtubule organization during the cell cycle., PTM:Autophosphorylation on serine and threonine residues within the activation loop plays a role in enzyme activation. Thr-277 is likely to be the main autophosphorylation site. Phosphorylation of Ser-555 and Ser-556 is induced by CDC42., similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily., similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain., similarity:Contains 1 SH3 domain., subcellular location:Location is cell cycle dependent., subunit:Homodimer; undergoes dimerization during activation., tissue specificity:Expressed in a wide variety of normal and neoplastic tissues including fetal lung, liver, heart and kidney, and adult lung, liver, heart, kidney, placenta, skeletal muscle, pancreas and brain.
